Your Unboxing Checklist: How To Avoid Voiding Your Warranty
The unboxing is the most exciting part of buying a doll, and it's also the moment where you can accidentally void your warranty without realising it. A few minutes of care during delivery and inspection can be the difference between a silky purchase and a stressful dispute, and the checklist below is the exact process that seasoned purchasers follow every time. Skipping it is how customers end up with a damaged doll and no recourse, and it's easy to do in the excitement, despite it not being complicated.
Before the Receipt, Check the Box
Before signing the delivery receipt, give the box an inspection. Eager and in a hurry, most people skip this step, which is the single most important one. You should photograph the box from multiple angles before you open it if it's crushed, torn, dented, or wet. Signing for the delivery ends the shipping company's liability, and if you've signed for a damaged box without documenting it, they'll deny any claim you make later. You can save hundreds of pounds with a few photos taken in thirty seconds.
Writing Unchecked on the Receipt
There's no going back once you've signed; the signature is the point of no return. Any damage that wasn't documented at the time becomes your issue rather than the shipping company's once you sign, because you're accepting the delivery as received in good condition. If the box looks damaged, you have the right to refuse delivery or to sign as "damaged," which maintains your right to claim. Pressed to sign without inspecting the box? Sign with a note saying "unchecked" or "signed without inspection"; it's your only protection in that situation.
Keep the Packaging Until the Inspection Is Done
Open the box cautiously once it's inside and you've documented any visible damage. Cut along the tape with a knife or scissors instead of tearing into the cardboard, because a negligent opening can scratch or cut the doll inside. The doll should come out slowly, with checking as you go, and the packaging should stay until you've completed the inspection, since you may need it to return the doll if something is incorrect.
The First Check: Thin Material, Common Damage
Tears in the armpits, groin and neck are the first thing to check for. Because the material is thinnest in these areas, damage is most widespread in them during shipping. For the armpits lift the arms gently, for the groin move the legs apart slowly, and for the neck turn the head gently. If there are any tears, photograph them immediately, and contact the retailer before you do anything else. Small tears can be repaired; ignored or worsened tears can become a much larger complication.
Report Finger Damage Immediately
The second check is the fingers. Every finger should be intact, the joints should move smoothly, and there should be no apparent breaks or tears in the material; make sure of it. Damage to a finger in transit is a common issue, especially with wire-frame hands, and reporting it immediately makes it much easier to resolve. Take each finger on its own and bend each joint gently to confirm it moves freely.
Nothing Protruding Through the Sole
The third item is the standing feet bolts, if your doll has them. Check that both bolts are present, secure and not loose, and that they're not protruding through the sole of the foot. Manufacturing flaw or safety issue? A missing bolt is the former and a loose bolt the latter, and both are worth reporting. If you find the bolts present and secure, you can proceed to the next check.
Sculpt Verification
The fourth item on the list is the head sculpt. Check that the head that arrived matches the photos of the head you ordered. Head swaps happen more often than you'd think, so a mismatched head is a legitimate complaint, evident as that sounds. Check the face shape, the eye colour, the makeup, and the overall expression, and if anything doesn't match, photograph it and contact the vendor.
Test Before You Use
Joints are the fifth thing to check. Full range of motion for each joint is the test, and everything should move smoothly without grinding, squeaking or resistance. Joints that are stiff are typical, but joints that grind or feel like they're catching are flawed. Your warranty may be voided, and the complication made worse, by employing a doll with a flawed joint, which is why you should document and report any difficulty before use.
Confirm the Dimensions
The sixth item on the list is the body proportions. Make sure the waist, hips, bust and height match what you ordered by measuring the doll against the advertised measurements. Because manufacturing mistakes take place, a doll that's the mistaken size is a legitimate complaint. Custom size customers in particular need this, since a size mistake has no effortless fix once the doll has been used.
Large Patches Are a Defect
After the sixth check, check the skin texture and finish. Consistent skin across the whole body is what you want, so look for uneven zones, discolouration, and visible seams. Typical is some trivial variation; a fault is substantial patches of discolouration or visible seams. Take photos of anything that looks incorrect, then contact the vendor if you're worried.
Check Eight: Wig and Eyes
Worth doing is an eighth check, a wig and eye inspection. Wig as ordered in colour and style, eyes correct in colour and properly set: confirm both before moving on. These are smaller details; still, they're part of what you paid for, and a mismatch is a legitimate complaint. You should photograph the wig and eyes plainly and compare them to the order confirmation before you contact the vendor.
Silicone Should Feel Smooth and Consistent
Your ninth check is the overall feel of the doll. Feel for any lumps, hard spots or inconsistencies in the material by running your hands over the body. You can expect some texture, but a doll that feels uneven or has hard patches is a defect. With silicone dolls, which should feel silky and consistent, and TPE dolls, which should feel soft and flexible without any hard spots, this is especially major.
Report Them Immediately
After the body checks, tenth up are the accessories and any additional items that came with the order. A spare wig, a storage bag or a cleaning kit in the order? Confirm that it's all there and in great condition. Because missing accessories are typical, report them right away rather than discovering them weeks later; they're much easier to resolve that way.
The Often Overlooked Check
Eleventh on the list, and often overlooked, is the packaging itself. Because most returns and warranty claims need it, keep the original box and any internal packaging for at least thirty days. Returning a doll in different packaging frequently means the retailer refuses it, whereas original packaging makes it much more likely to arrive in great condition. Because you may need it, label the box clearly with the date of arrival and store it somewhere dry.
Report Early With Evidence
Found any issues? Document everything before you contact the vendor. Record precisely what you found and when you found it in writing, photograph the damage, and keep the packaging. The seller should be contacted straight away, with a clear description of the issue and the photographs included. Early reports with evidence get issues resolved quickly by most vendors, and the ones that don't are the ones you want to steer clear of in the future regardless.
Don't Bin the Packaging Too Soon
Don't sign for a crushed box on the assumption that the doll is fine inside, as it generally isn't. Don't discard the packaging until you've completed the inspection, because you'll need it if you have to return the doll. The assurance can be voided by using a damaged doll, so don't use the doll before you've completed the inspection. Report an issue without waiting, because the longer you wait, the harder it is to prove the damage was there from the start.
Put It in Writing
If a retailer won't honour an assurance claim that you believe is legitimate, what are your alternatives? The documentation you collected during the unboxing is your strongest asset in that situation, and it's worth escalating cautiously. Choose writing over the phone when contacting the vendor, so there's a record of what was said and when, and include all the photographs and a clear description of the flaw. A chargeback, requested from your card provider, is the next step if the retailer still refuses and the purchase was made with a credit card. Most card providers will side with the customer if there's clear evidence of a defect and a refusal to resolve it, but they need the evidence to be documented and timely.
Understanding Your Cover
There's also the question of what the assurance in fact covers, because not all warranties are the same. Tears at the seams, joint failures and material defects, as manufacturing faults, are covered by most warranties; misuse, accidents, and normal wear and tear are not. Because a claim that's obviously a flaw will be honoured and one that's clearly user slip-up will be rejected, understanding the difference between a flaw and damage is significant. Don't assume the doll's cost means everything is covered; read the warranty carefully before you acquire.
Why the Checklist Is Worth It
Taking about thirty minutes, the unboxing checklist is the single best protection for your purchase, and that's the bottom line. It's the record of how the doll looked at the moment of delivery, the only moment when the retailer and the shipping company are both still liable. Do it properly, take it seriously, and the most typical cause of buyer disputes will be avoided.

Writing Unchecked on the Receipt
There's no going back once you've signed; the signature is the point of no return. Any damage that wasn't documented at the time becomes your issue rather than the shipping company's once you sign, because you're accepting the delivery as received in good condition. If the box looks damaged, you have the right to refuse delivery or to sign as "damaged," which maintains your right to claim. Pressed to sign without inspecting the box? Sign with a note saying "unchecked" or "signed without inspection"; it's your only protection in that situation.

Manufacturing flaw or safety issue? A missing bolt is the former and a loose bolt the latter, and both are worth reporting. If you find the bolts present and secure, you can proceed to the next check.
